## Abstract

Imaging technologies have become indispensable for understanding immune responses across molecular, cellular, and organism scales. By enabling real-time visualization of immune cell behaviour in health and disease, imaging bridges fundamental immunology and clinical application. This Editorial introduces the ESMI Collection, which showcases recent advances in imaging immune responses that support translational research and the development of precision medicine.
